Frozen grapes are the best snack ever! Especially in the summer. They’re super refreshing, incredibly healthy, low-calorie, and SO easy. I mean you actually don’t have to do anything except putting them in the freezer. And they kind of taste like frozen candy. It’s just INCREDIBLE!!
The only thing I’m thinking right now is why haven’t I tried frozen grapes earlier?!
I’ve read about frozen grapes before, but until last summer I haven’t tried eating them as a snack. Boy, was I missing out! I’ve always liked grapes, but I do LOVE them when they’re frozen.
So maybe there are other people like me being late to the game, so here I am writing a post about frozen grapes.
You can use both, red and white grapes. I think I like white grapes a little bit better, but they’re both amazing! It’s the only way I’m eating grapes these days. Haha! And I’m eating A LOT of them.
Frozen Grapes – An Amazing Snack!
When you’re a normally a fan of grapes, you just have to give this a try! I usually just wash the grapes, put them in freezer bags, and then freeze them overnight. So it’s only grapes, nothing else.
Frozen Grapes with Sugar:
But I’ve also read that many people coat them in sugar before freezing them. I haven’t tried this yet because I think they’re sweet enough just by themselves.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I got the feeling they’re a lot sweeter when they’re frozen. But if you want to add a little bit of additional sweetness, you could give this a try.
And they’re many other recipes for frozen grapes with caramel, jello, or even with chocolate! Yummy!
Freezing Grapes – How to Make Frozen Grapes
I guess you will all believe me when I tell you that this is the EASIEST “recipe” on my blog. Haha! All you need is 5 minutes of your time. Then just give your freezer another 8 hours to make perfectly frozen grapes for you.
STEP 1: Put the grapes in a colander and rinse them with cold water for about 30 seconds. Gently rub them as you rinse them. Grapes belong to the “Dirty Dozen” (products that have the highest concentration of pesticides), so this helps to remove bacteria and pesticides on the grapes.
STEP 2: Check for any broken or decaying grapes and remove them. Gently pull the rest of the grapes from the stem.
STEP 3: Fill the washed and pulled grapes in a ziploc bag.
STEP 4: Freeze the grapes overnight or for at least 8 hours.
What To Use Frozen Grapes For:
1. Snack:
I usually just eat frozen grapes as a healthy and delicious snack. Especially in the summer.
2. Frozen Grapes in Wine:
Frozen grapes are also great to chill wine. Unlike ice cubes, they don’t water down your drinks. Red grapes are perfect for red wine and white grapes for white wine. No big surprise. Haha!
And when you’re done with your wine, you got a delicious snack waiting for your on the bottom of your glass.
3. Weight Loss:
Frozen grapes are also great for weight loss. I mean when you’re on a diet and want to lose weight, you often get sugar cravings. Instead of candy just eat a bowl of frozen grapes.
And the best thing is you don’t have to feel bad about it and you can even go for more!
I LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU GUYS!
I hope you like frozen grapes as much as we do around here! What’s your favorite summer snack?

They were soooo delicious! I even put honey on them which instantly made them even better.

I do this then tops then with a sugar free Starburst cherry jello packet. Makes a very tasty treat.

I have been eating frozen grapes for decades. I’m surprised at how many have never heard of this. They are delicious, refreshing and satisfy that sweet craving. There are now recipes adding flavored gelatin and sour powder. To me that would just ruin the simplicity of a wonderful healthy snack.
Mateo
Love the recipe. Great as a healthy snack or when you want something sweet yet that it isnt too sweet or unhealthy.
Kevin
Literally, THE. BEST. SNACK. and I definitely agree with you they for sure taste sweeter when they are frozen. I feel like adding sugar would make them too sweet, and honestly kinda of defeats the “healthy snack” thing.

I’ve tried frozen green grapes before & there AMAZING!!
I suggest trying all types of grapes being frozen :)

I’ve been eating grapes frozen for awhile. I first froze them to put them in water thinking they’d keep it cool and add some flavor (didn’t work) but I ate one frozen and I never looked back. They’re like tiny popsicles
I agree the green ones are best.
They’re AMAZING for anyone experiencing menopause. Grab some during a hot flash and it goes away.

Can black grapes be frozen? Thanks
Sina
Yes :)
Alec Trivverson
That’s racist. You think only white grapes can be frozen?
Laya
They’re not say its racist the recipe just didn’t call for black grapes so they’re asking.

Yes! I tried freezing black grapes and they are yummy! I personally like the green grapes with some sprite on top of it! It has some sugar but is very tasty! All of my family likes the green grapes the most!
Ruby
SO GOOD! My whole family loves them. The nebiorhood kids always come over too our house for the frozen grapes!!

I have been freezing grapes when they start going bad : I slice them in 2, discard the rotten / contaminated part and get rid of the seeds. I salvage lots of grapes this way. I’m going to freeze them before now, as I found the frozen one more pleasant and refreshing… I am curious about why you don’t discard the seeds, do you eat them frozen?
I am definitely going to try the suggestions commented (lemon juice, citric acid and sugar) sounds terrific, thank you for sharing!
My favorite summer snack is a sorbet made from frozen cubed watermelon and a dash of oat milk… yum!
Nao
They probably just got the seedless variety.
